David Goodfellow’s Hampstead home resembled a warehouse recently with 35 tons of toys and food baskets piled high, ready to be distributed in an ongoing giveaway known as the “Kindness Offensive.”

Goodfellow, a 29-year-old event planner, and his housemates are spontaneous do-gooders and on Monday they distributed 3,500 hampers (baskets) and thousands of presents to neighbors in in North London. “Kindness is infectious. If you do good deeds others will follow.”
